    See where it says ECU = 0???

    That's a warning. There's no way for you to know how many hours are on that truck.

    One of my bench tests is to divide miles by total engine hours. This will tell you if the truck has been idled to death.

    No one is going to let a mechanic tear the truck apart.

    Not a big fan of the dyno either.

    I am a big fan of oil analysis. But if they've changed the oil, that's out too. If they haven't, that will tell you where that engine is at.

    Don't buy a truck if it has any codes unless you like pain.
